Sometimes I come to that realization after I’ve hit the post button, and whatever I’ve said is either a dumb take or needlessly antagonistic. We already get so little free will, no need to throw away the bit we get just to be a stupid asshole.
When you come to the point, why not edit the post/comment to “I don’t agree with my original post/comment” or “I step away corrected”. Another take about information: “I have come to a realization that I was wrong and find someone’s comment [insert link] or this is the correct info [insert correct info is source link]”.
I ask this because I do the same as you but would this be a example of progression for ourselves and others? Is that a culture to have or do we naturally do that on our own paths?
Fair question, I guess it just depends on how I feel that day and whether or not it’s even worth engaging with even myself about it rather than expunge the dumb thought from existance. I don’t necessarily forget it, but the feels linger if I leave it hanging, and I only get so much time on this planet.
I guess it’s just easier to delete it and move on with my life and the next time I come across the thought I approach it differently for everyone’s sake.
I like to think I’m okay with being wrong, but just like every interaction, it goes smoother if I don’t need to backtrack and regain the trust of my interlocutor. Mulling on it myself instead of with someone I’ve already pissed off is probably more productive. I guess that’s also part of the learning curve.
This is what comes to mind for me every time I do so. Lately I’ve just feel obligated to try to do something different, like what I asked to you.
Maybe it could be a way to not do bad comments at least.
A little mantra I like is
Don’t believe everything you think

I agree but I have a curve ball question.

These rang true to me.
Thank you for sharing!

You reasonable son of a gun!!!
You also shouldn’t believe everything that you breathe, or you’ll get a parking violation with a maggot on your sleeve.
